The Courtship Episode 11 recap

In last week’s episode, the suitors were tasked with helping in the preparation of a luxury dinner. All the four suitors, Jesse Judge, Lincoln Chapman, Christian Cones, and Danny Bochicchio, did their best to give a helping hand and impress Rémy.

Meanwhile, Lincoln’s love for van life and lack of interest in commitment surprised Rémy’s parents. Danny was also upset with the fact that his lady had another sleepover with Lincoln, which made Rémy cry. Nicole then told Danny that she loved him but, to her surprise, Danny was not able to reciprocate her feelings.

Lincoln was unsure about committing to the heroine of the show and described their affair as more of a "fling." This revelation upset Christian, who later wrote an anonymous letter to Nicole informing her of Lincoln's revelation. After receiving the letter, she confronted Lincoln, who initially insisted that he was "crazy about" her but later admitted that he was not the right choice for her. Lincoln was sent back home after this confession.

During the last dance with the remaining three suitors, Danny apologized to Nicole for making her cry and Christian confessed that he was the one who wrote the letter to her. She bonded with Jesse as well. Finally, Nicole decided that all the three remaining suitors could stay and try to win her hand in the finale.


Tune in on Wednesday, May 25, at 11.30 PM ET on USA Network to find out Nicole's choice of her life partner on The Courtship.
